<strong>The</strong> air delivery system runs on a 15% duty cycle,<br />
5 seconds on and 30 seconds off. One very real<br />
hazard, particularly in very dusty atmospheres, is filter<br />
blockage. To ensure that the airflow is adequate, the<br />
fan undertakes an airflow test every four hours. If the<br />
airflow is inadequate, a ‘maintenance-required’ signal<br />
is transmitted to the panel. If the power to the fan fails<br />
then a fault condition is indicated at the panel.<br />
Although the design of optical <strong>detector</strong>s renders them<br />
inherently less sensitive to high air velocities than<br />
ionisation units, there is, nevertheless, the risk of false<br />
alarms in high airflows. A significant side benefit of the<br />
Filtrex <strong>detector</strong> is that because the air velocity through<br />
the detection chamber is totally controlled by the fan,<br />
they can be used in environments with extremely high<br />
airflows without any danger of false alarms. In theory<br />
the Filtrex unit has no limits.<br />
Key features:<br />
25 micron filters let <strong>smoke</strong><br />
particles in, keep dust<br />
particles out<br />
Optical <strong>point</strong> <strong>detector</strong> gives far<br />
faster response than heat<br />
sensors or sprinklers<br />
Overcomes false alarm<br />
<strong>pro</strong>blems in dusty<br />
atmospheres<br />
<strong>The</strong> fire system will not have to be turned off during<br />
cleaning, ensuring that <strong>pro</strong>tection is maintained.<br />
Maintenance intervals in dusty atmospheres should be<br />
much extended because, with no dust entering the<br />
chamber, false alarms due to settling dust are eliminated.<br />
<strong>The</strong> external filter is removed <strong>for</strong> cleaning with a simple<br />
tool and the system stays on line during the cleaning<br />
<strong>pro</strong>cess, again ensuring that <strong>pro</strong>tection is maintained.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Filtrex intelligent optical <strong>detector</strong> is the first model<br />
in the family to be released, and early indications are of<br />
a great deal of interest from the industrial community.<br />
<strong>The</strong> benefits of <strong>pro</strong>viding early detection in harsh<br />
environments at low cost are an attractive alternative<br />
to the more established <strong>pro</strong>ducts already serving this<br />
specialised, but widespread marketplace.<br />
